Went to HC without team matching since they were low on head counts. Recruiter mentioned that he got a "soft" approval from a HM. Passed HC last week and they recommended L3.
I am now waiting to find a team and had a few questions:
1. What does the team matching stage entail? How should I prepare for this stage?
2. If I can't find a team in Seattle/Kirkland, would the recruiter be able to do a team match at MTV or other offices instead?
3. It looks like they are low on L3 head counts for Seattle/Kirkland. Does anyone work in or know of a team that is looking for L3 SWEs? Any good teams to look out for in the Seattle/Kirkland area?
Thank you

2. Yes. Alternatively you can choose to wait longer (a few months) and see what comes up in those locations, if you’re not in a hurry.
3. Define good team first.
Also does your interview performance determine which teams would be interested or is it mostly based on experience for industry hires?
Having said that, if you’re motivated by consumer facing product, consider chrome or android. Big money figures, ads. Large scale systems, cloud infra. And there’s always cloud AI that 9 out of 10 new hires express strong desire to join.
Do you mind sharing why did you suggest Duo ? I think Duo/meet org has gone under re-org for couple of times.
Honestly just want to know your thoughts regarding Duo/meets
